Las posadas mexicanas, celebración que empieza el 16 de diciembre y termina en vísperas de navidad.
Son fiestas muy divertidas donde se canta una canción popular que representa el viaje de María y José pidiendo asilo de casa en casa buscando donde dar a luz a Jesús.
Otra actividad que es indispensable es romper la piñata. Tradicionalmente la piñata tiene 7 picos, cada uno representa un pecado capital, el centro de esta es el diablo. Al romper la piñata, caen dulces y frutas, como recompensa a quien logró vencer al pecado.
No podía dejar de hacer una ilustración conmemorativa a alguna celebración de mi país en estas fechas que tanto me gustan, y además en mi clásico estilo Furry. Espero que lo disfruten

The traditional mexican posadas, celebration that begins on December 16th and ends in Christmas eve.
They are very fun celebrations where where you sing a song that represents the journey of Mary and Joseph seeking asylum from house to house looking to give birth Jesus.
Another indispensable activity is breaking the piñata. Traditionaly, piñata must have 7 peaks, each one represents the deadly sins, and the center is the devil. When you break the piñata, it falls candys and fruits, as a reward to who succeeded to overcome sin.
I couldn't help doing a commemorative illustration about this celebration of my country in this time that I really enjoy, also in my classic Furry style. I hope you like it.

Thank you for the lesson on pinatas! I did not know there was a particular shape it was supposed to be or the meaning.
Is it done only on posadas? Most Americans who use a pinata use it during a birthday party, and it is often animal shaped. I noticed the person hitting it is not wearing a blindfold. Is that normal?

Piñatas is a exclusive in posadas tradition, but in the new ages they have been implementing them in birthdays also, with other shapes, as you say...animals, toon characters, etc. It is weird to have your favorite toon character in a piñata, because you're hitting your favorite character >.< that's insane.
Unfortunately, those kinds of piñatas have been arriving to the posadas too.
In some places where piñatas are made, in toony and animal shapes, I admire what fantastic they made their work, they look amazing, for example, near my school is a party stuffs shop where they sell fantastic piñatas, I saw one about Toothless, from How to train your dragon, or other about Rudolph the Reindeer...or even some ponies from My little Pony (despite I'm not fan...I loved how those piñatas looked). Are really artistic more than just a craft, such a pit that they are made to be broken u__u
Sorry if my english is kind of bad X_X
Now about the blindflod, now is normal that kids don't wear a blindfold, originally was part of the tradition to wear a blinfold when they were hitting the piñata, but....I remember that happened a lot of accidents, with the kids that were watching, the kid who were hitting the piñata (was too common that the piñata hit the kid and send him flying). So officialy is not necesary being blindfolded for the safe of everybody

I lived in Mexico for two years when I was around 13-14, work for my parents. I also went back again about 3 years ago to do an investigation report for one of my degrees that I was doing in the US. I was reporting about slave labor in Mexico, but owned by rich Americans.
Anyway, I am glad you like my icon, thank you!
